I initially had this in the book, thinking that if you had KDE and GNOME both installed, you'd see all the menu choices from both desktops on whichever one was running at the time. Alas, all it did was create a jumbled mess on both desktops*. That's why I removed the "If you have both installed, do this:" stuff. I couldn't get it to behave properly. But perhaps I didn't set it up correctly. You see, you end up with two trashcans and all sort of redundant stuff that doesn't belong in the desktop you're currently running. Is this what you're asking about? * jumbled mess = menu options without icons, missing icons from the base desktop, all sorts of issues -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 12:13:00 up 12 days, 12:27, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.04 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
